Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated The Bone Season in Books
Apr 5, 2020
It is raining the day her life changes for ever. Attacked, drugged and kidnapped, Paige is transported to Oxford – a city kept secret for two hundred years, controlled by a powerful, otherworldly race. Paige is assigned to Warden, a Rephaite with mysterious motives. He is her master. Her trainer. Her natural enemy. But if Paige wants to regain her freedom she must allow herself to be nurtured in this prison where she is meant to die.
The Bone Season introduces a compelling heroine and also introduces an extraordinary young writer, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. Samantha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut.
This is a reread for me and I lived it more the second time round. I admire Samantha Shannon at such a young age to develop such an intricate fascinating world. It was so good to go back to the beginning of Paige's and wardens journey. These characters are so brilliant it's good to see the little things I missed the first time round. Now to wait patiently for Bone season 4 and my hardcover copy of The Mime order.
